Rep. Gerry Connolly, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Virginia’s 11th district, shared a series of tweets on various topics this week. His messages touched on both personal and political matters.
On December 10, Connolly tweeted about his attendance at the White House Holiday Ball, expressing joy for the occasion alongside companions Smitty and Caitlin. He extended holiday greetings to all: "What a wonderful night at the White House Holiday Ball with Smitty and Caitlin. Happy Holidays, everyone!"
Two days later, on December 11, Connolly criticized Republican efforts concerning tax filing services in another tweet. He described Direct File as a beneficial free service for taxpayers that Republicans allegedly aim to complicate: "Absurd. Direct File is a free service that makes it easier to file your taxes every year. Republicans want to make your lives more difficult."
Finally, on December 13, Connolly commemorated the second anniversary of the Respect for Marriage Act being signed into law by President Biden. He expressed pride in supporting legislation that ensures protections for same-sex and interracial couples: "Two years ago, @POTUS signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law to ensure critical protections for same-sex & interracial couples under federal law. I am proud to have supported this landmark legislation."
